[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - since someone mentioned it for a different school, what are class sizes like? The older classes are smaller because of AAP, but my younger child's first grade class is 29 kids and from what I've heard, can get pretty out of control (and it's not just this one class, it's all the first grade classes at our school).[/quote]

Fox Mill, the JI classes start big (30 kids) but drop to the high teens by 5th, 6th grade. The Gen Ed classes tend to be in the teens to low 20s. [/quote]

How many of each (Japanese Immersion vs Gen Ed vs LLIV) are there?[/quote]

There are 2 JI classes and 2 Gen Ed Classes. They are using the cluster model for LLIV but the classes are divided in fifth grade for Advanced Math so all the kids in Advanced Math are in the same class. We have not noticed that many kids leaving the JI program for AAP, our child was accepted and we deferred. I know at least 5 other kids in DCs class that deferred as well. I have no clue what the rate of departure for LIV is with the Gen Ed class. I do know that kids return to Fox Mill from Oak Hill although I don’t know why kids return. I would say that AAP does not seem to be a big deal for most of the families at Fox Mill. [/quote]
